Primary hyperoxaluria type 1  [PHT1]

Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 is a recessive genetic disease that causes a build-up of oxalate, a waste product resulting from protein digestion. PHT1 can lead to kidney and bladder problems, including kidney stones, frequent urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, and kidney failure. PHT1 affects about 1 in every 70,000 people. Lifestyle modifications and medications can help manage PHT1.
